I love this litter!!

Update; I’ve been meaning to come on and here review the litter after use. Just like any clay litter, the more you scoop, the more you break down the granules. As the granules break down they become a powder causing dust. The dust I am experiencing from granulated break down is bad, as to be expected by process, but it’s not as bad as the litter in the yellow tub that starts off extremely dusty. So for those who can afford to, that want less dust, you need to do full litter box changes more often. When the dust has got a limit that you can’t take anymore do a full change and you’ll be back to less dust from not only this brand but any other brands. ✌️I have 2 cats and 1 large litter box. I haven’t had the money to move into the future with an auto litter box.This is my first time using this litter so i started with a full clean. Upon pouring the bag of litter into the box there was zero and I mean ZERO dust. So my first impression was holy cow no dust. The whole reason I wanted to do a full change was the more popular name brand in a bucket is so dusty it’s 100% unhealthy for my cats and I. This litter is amazing. It clumps great. Also, I have to mention I absolutely hate when litter breaks down and leaves little pieces every time you scoop. I mean what’s the use if there’s little pieces all mixed up in the litter you’re trying to clean. I have NOT had that problem yet while scooping. For being slightly OCD with how clean I want the box I’m again, impressed.Just remember YOU MUST add a good amount of litter to your box in order for it to NOT stick to your box so the litter stops the urine before it gets to the plastic. You wonder about it hitting the sides first, still it will clump perfectly if you put enough litter in the box stopping it from sticking to the sides as well.This litter is trapping all smells as well. I’d give it 10 starts of I could. Completely impressed and will not be going back to any other litter I have previously used. Would 100% recommend whether using an auto or stick scooping yourself. ✌️ fellow cat lovers 😊Ver más

Best clumping cat litter ever!

I have tried just about every litter on the market of the "clumping" variety. I moved a year and a half ago from a home where I had lived with two cats for years. While helping me pack this huge house which was filled with way too much "stuff," my daughter and her husband both commented on all the dust on everything, especially everything close to the above-ground basement where the two litter boxes were placed. Both of them said the dust made them cough, and once I started paying attention, I realized that I was coughing myself every time I cleaned the litter boxes, and the coughing got worse from disturbing the dust going through and sorting and packing. Once I was in the house I rented, I tried two or three different clumping litters, but all of them had the same heavy perfume odor and there was dust from it everywhere, and about half an inch of dust in the bottom of the litter box at all times, so there is no wonder it was getting everywhere with the help of the cats digging and the stuff flying everywhere. Not only that, but the cats sometimes had "damp" paws, the dust would stick to the paws, and they were tracking cement-like trails across the laminate flooring - and the carpeting as well, though at least I could not SEE that! Then I bought a house and spent four months remodeling it. Once again, during the process of packing, we could all see the cat litter dust everywhere and smell that heavy perfume they use to mask odor. I decided that before I moved into my home with brand new everything, including floor tile, carpeting, blinds, etc., I was going to do some research and try to find a less irritating and dusty litter. My reasoning was that if it was making people cough, it could not be good for my cats to breathe it, either. and I had had more than enough of the dust and the "wet cement" paw marks! I decided to give Precious Cat a try, and this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am just sorry it took me so long to take the time and do the research. I have been using Precious Cat since the end of February. There is no perfume odor whatsoever, there is absolutely NO dust at all, the litter clumps as hard as a rock and never comes to pieces while being scooped, and for some reason, I seem to be adding litter to the boxes less frequently. I have not quite figured out the reason for this yet! Yes - it is pricey, but it is worth the price to me to get rid of that constant cloying smell and the dust everywhere all the time. At least Amazon has it now PRIME, which is a huge benefit, because I looked at Petco on-line and thought I had found a real deal. Wow! Forty pounds for $15.99! Then I got to checkout and the shipping was over $16.00! So back I came to blessed Amazon.com, and this is where I will purchase my Precious Cat Litter from now on. I will pay the higher price for such a high-quality litter, especially since I am using less of it than any other litter I have used in the past. Thanks for carrying Precious Cat, Amazon - and thanks for having it available PRIME, too. By the way, anyone who says the "pee balls" stick to the bottom of the box, try this: I lift one end of the box and drop it about 2 inches back to the floor, then tilt it away from me and repeat the process. This completely loosens the clumps and they are easy to scoop. I do this because I am 74 and the less time I spend being down on my knees cleaning litter boxes, the better off I am! I DID replace my litter boxes, because the ones I had were made of some weird kind of plastic that the clumps DID stick to. Remembering a Maine Coon cat breeder with a LOT of cats and kittens who used plastic tote bins without the lids, I bought two Rubbermaid Roughneck bins with 8" sides, tossed out the lids that came with them, and they are in use now as litter boxes and work great. The higher sides keep the litter from being thrown out with fastidious kitties getting carried away in the covering up process and flinging the litter about, and because one of my cats is a 17-pound Maine Coon female, she is VERY happy not to have to cram her big furry self, including her gorgeous long plume of a tail, into even the largest covered litter box I could find. We are ALL much happier with Precious Cat and new open-top litter boxes! And I must be honest - my first purchase of Precious Cat was NOT from Amazon, because at the time it was not PRIME and I got it cheaper elsewhere. Happily, this is not the case any longer.

HIGHLY recommend trying this litter! Never using another one!

I’ve been using this cat litter for years, and it’s still my favorite. I have it on Subscribe & Save because it’s one of the few products I never want to run out of.The dust level is excellent—there’s very little compared to other brands I’ve tried. Odor control is also one of its biggest strengths and a major reason I continue to buy it. I use it in my Casa Leo automatic litter box, and it works perfectly. It clumps quickly, doesn’t stick to the inside of the litter box, and doesn’t leave behind a dusty residue, which makes cleaning much easier.It does track a little outside the box, but because it’s low-dust, it’s much less messy than many competing litters. I have two cats, and this litter has been consistently reliable. The clumping, odor control, and overall performance make it well worth the price. After years of using it, I can confidently say it’s the best litter I’ve found, and I’ll continue buying it.Highly recommend trying it out!!Ver más

Solid Clumping Litter. Good Odor Control and Truly Unscented

I've been using this litter for a while now and it's been a pretty reliable option for everyday use. I prefer the unscented litter because it just works really well. The clumping is my favorite feature as it forms solid clumps that don't fall apart which makes cleaning the box a lot easier. I like that it's unscented since strong fragrances tend to bother both me and my cats. The odor control is sufficient and holds up well between cleanings, especially in a multi-cat setup. The granules are a bit heavier which seems to help reduce tracking compared to lighter litters. It's advertised as low dust and while it's better than some brands, I still notice a bit of dust when pouring or scooping. The litter and dust will also stick slightly to the bottom of the box if not enough is used. Still, the consistency and performance make it a solid choice without too much hassle.Ver más

Fantastic performance. Heavy material.

This is the best litter I have ever used, and I have tried most all top brands.It controls smell well, clumps beautifully and stays clean. My 2 lady cats love it, and prefer its use to the outdoors. They enjoy scratching it, and also seem to use it more frequently than with any prior litter.Drawbacks:The litter is heavy. The bag is 40 lbs and comes in a carboard box that needs to be cut almost completely open to release the bag. This is not an issue for me, but I imagine it could easily be for someone else.Because the weight was great enough to crack one of my 20 year old plastic litter boxes, i replaced both with stainless steel litter boxes. They bear the weight easily.The clumps that are formed are also heavier because the litter is heavier. That means the waste bag is substantially heavier. Again not a personal issue, but definitely an issue for those with problems carrying weight.Ver más

Way too dusty

Did a 25 day test w/ World's Best Cat Litter Clumping Litter Formula, Nature's Miracle Just for Cats Corn Cob Litter, and Just the Crystals Premium Crystal Cat Litter. I've also previously used Dr. Elsy's Precious Cat Ultra Premium Cat Litter and can offer a comparison with it as well.(#1) World's Best: Clumps very well and doesn't track much at all. There is a small amount of dust, but the dust appears to have a large particle size and doesn't stay airborne, so it settles quickly back into the box instead of getting all over everything. There is a slight odor to the litter which is a little unusual, but it doesn't smell bad, and it seems to control the cat odor well. It's also light weight, which makes it easy to scoop. My four cats had no problem w/ World's Best. Of the four litters, this is the one I'll probably end up going back to. Some people look at the cost per pound and say it is too expensive, but it is less dense than the clay litters, and as a result it takes less poundage to fill a litter box. While I didn't measure this precisely, I'd tend to say the 28 lbs bag of World's Best goes at least as far as a 40 lbs bag of Precious Cat (or other fine clay litter), which makes the costs a lot more comparable (just don't overpay for the litter - some of the Amazon marketplace resellers gouge on the price).(#2 - tie) Just the Crystals: I tried this litter based on the excellent reviews here on Amazon. It doesn't track very much at all (and given the large granules, it is easy to vacuum up when it does). It is easier to scoop than the others, as you just scoop out the poop and then stir it - you don't need to remove the urine. While that sounds a bit gross, it really doesn't appear to get wet, smelly, or dirty any quicker than the others. I was also really impressed with the manufacturer, who definitely seems to stand behind their brand. All of that said, while Just the Crystals is much less dusty than the clay litters, it did create a small amount of airborne dust while scooping. It wasn't particularly objectionable, but was more than either Nature's Miracle (which had none) or World's Best (which settled before getting very airborne). My cats also used this box less than the others, though they've never used a crystal litter before and likely just aren't used to it, which I can't hold against Just the Crystals. The verdict? I probably won't continue with Just the Crystals myself, but if I used an automatic litter box this would probably be my litter of choice. Price does seem a little bit more than other premium litters when measured by volume (not weight), but because you don't throw out the peed up litter, you still have just as much litter in the box after 3 weeks as you had when you filled it initially (versus the other litters where you're steadily throwing away litter as it gets peed up), which balances things out a bit.(#2 - tie) Nature's Miracle: Basically zero dust, very lightweight (so it is really easy to scoop), and it also smells great coming out of the package. It does track a bit more than the others, though that's only a minor annoyance to me (could be worse depending on where the box is). The real problem though is that it doesn't clump well, and since the clumps fall apart, small pieces of old, peed up litter gradually build up in the box, which means it starts smelling bad faster. While I used Nature's Miracle for years, this is eventually what pushed me away from it. If they could fix the clumping issue, this would probably be my favorite litter because of the non-existent dust and light weight. The clumping issue is a fairly big deal to me though, and World's Best gets me most of the advantages without that major disadvantage. Per unit of volume this seems comparable to other premium litters - perhaps a bit less than World's Best or Just the Crystals - but you might need to change it more often to keep it from smelling bad, which could make it less cost effective.(#3) Dr. Elsy's Precious Cat: Clumps extremely well and controls odor quite well. When I had a stray cat and her kittens, this is the litter I picked once they were of age to use a litter box (rather, I used the kitten version of it) because it seemed to control the odor the best for the longest period of time. It does track a bit more than the litters with larger granules (like World's Best or Just the Crystals), and it's fairly heavy, which makes it harder to scoop and change. The worst part is the dust though. As the litter ages, the granules seem to break down into smaller pieces that go airborne and make absolutely awful dust. The older it got, the worse it became. Scooping it would set off the smoke alarm in the room, and I had to wipe down everything in the room with a wet rag to remove the thick coating of litter dust. With one box in the past (prior to this test), it eventually got bad enough I felt like I had to cover my mouth while scooping it. I've tried their Respiratory Relief version as well, and that wasn't any better. I've also tried mixing it with a less dusty litter like Nature's Miracle, but that made little difference. Price per unit volume seems a bit less than World's Best or Just the Crystal's (more comparable to Nature's Miracle - maybe a little less than it too), but I wouldn't use it anymore even if it were free - can't stand the dust.As for test methodology... All of the boxes were changed the same day. They were also washed before changing them using fragrance free detergent (I use fragrance free laundry detergent to do the boxes - it's mild, leaves no odor, and I'm sure won't irritate my cats). The litter boxes are converted from large Rubbermaid totes (I needed something with high sides as I have one cat that sometimes doesn't squat and pees over the sides of regular litter boxes). I scoop them once daily at night.While all of the boxes are pretty large (again, they're Rubbermaid storage totes), one is about 50% larger than the others. Historically, my cats have preferred that box, perhaps because of the extra room. In this test, that box had World's Best, and, true to form, they used that box more than the others. That said, the box size may factor into that.Also, I did not actually measure volume for the price comparisons. Those are very loose estimates based on how much it felt like I needed to dump into the boxes to fill them. At the end of the day, the price differences between them weren't so significant as to be the major differentiator between them.

Great price, great performance, heavy bags.

This stuff is great. I was paying nearly twice as much for Fresh Step. FS is lighter and perhaps more desirable for that reason, but Dr. Elsey's is a great option if you have multiple cats. The bags are heavy though, at 40 lbs. Clumps very well, absorbs well, hides odors very well. You'll want to get an old plastic container (one of the other litter options, then re-use with the Dr.).Ver más

The best for 10 years and likely for life

I've been using this for 10 years and have had anywhere between 1 and 4 cats living in my home, so I have a pretty long period of familiarity with this. I've never had bad odors that weren't due to my occasional neglect. Other litters smell within the day, and cause my home to smell like cat urine and perfumes. It's a great value, and great quality. I've used in a plastic litter box, stainless still, and litter robot, and have never had any issues. Clumping is pretty good, and quality has remained consistent over the years.Ver más

From Crystal to Clay: My Experience with This Cat Litter

I recently decided to switch from crystal to clay litter and ordered two bags, intending to have an extra on hand in case I got busy. However, I was surprised when they shipped me one massive 40kg bag instead. It was incredibly heavy, and lifting it felt like it was going to break my back.Unfortunately, the packaging was disappointing. There was a tear in the bag, causing sand to spill out. Unlike other brands that package their product in a box to prevent damage, this one didn't seem to care about protecting the product during shipping.When people say the clumping is HARD, they mean it—literally. Scooping and cleaning the litter box was a real struggle. On the plus side, it does the job well, isn’t dusty, and controls odors to some extent. Adding a litterbox deodorant helped significantly with odor control.In conclusion, for its price, this is probably the best affordable litter on the market, especially if you're concerned about your cat's lungs due to dust. I'm not sure if my cat loves it, but he definitely prefers it over the old clay litter I bought in the past. While I still personally prefer crystal litter for its softness on the paws, it's just too expensive. Overall, this is a good product, and I’ll consider buying it again—just in a smaller size.Ver más

Good value and soft grit

Lovely grey, fine and soft grit that works well in automatic cat litter trays.Clumps poop well so the machine can clear it well leaving clean grit behind.

Best litter ever

This is the best litter I’ve ever used. I’ve tried so many different types of litter to help with how much my two cats were tracking around the house. I was getting so sick of having to clean white paw prints everywhere and constantly sanitizing. This stuff has zero tracking and has made my life SO much easier when it comes to cleaning. I used to hate having to clean other litter and the clumps would fall apart everywhere and make a huge mess. This stuff clumps into super hard tight balls that never fall apart. Soooo easy to scoop now. You do need to have a super sturdy litter scoop though cause the clumps are almost like balls of cement and very heavy. This stuff also helps to dehydrate poop very well so I never have problems with messy sticky poop getting stuck to the sides of the box or on the scoop. I find that since this stuff is so good at clumping it leaves the rest of the litter much cleaner for longer and I don’t actually have to completely dump the litter once a month and replace with a new batch. Saves me time and money. It’s also unscented and doesn’t easily get stinky or hold onto the stink once it’s been scooped clean. I hated how other litters would still stink even after it had been cleaned. Not a problem with this one. Only negative is that this stuff is super heavy so I need my husband to do the first pour out of a new bag. Maybe if the packaging had a handle or something it would be easier.Ver más
